Orbi and Battlefield One
So...I have the RBK50 system.
2 cpus plugged into the Orbi, speedtest are perfect. While I'm playing games on either CPU I get some crazy lagspikes. I'm usually hooking into games doing 20Mbps, while playing I get spikes up to 300+Mbps that last 30seconds or so. I'm thinking its the Satleite upstrairs that the kids are using for their streaming and gaming but it doesn't make sense with the power of this unit. Any idea's on how I can test this and figure out if theirs a roadblock somewhere?

What is the mfr and model of the ISP modem?
What UP and down speeds do you pay for?
Ensure that the upstairs devices are not streaming anything. Then test your game PCs out. Does same thing happen with the streamers disabled?
My modem is an Arris TM722, I pay for comcast blast I usually get 120-130 up and 13 to 14 down which is the exact level of service I have,
I tested the PC's without anyone on, perfect. This is a Satellite issue.
So I guess I'll be studying on how to fix that issue, perhaps the satellite is placed to far from the router, bottle neck somewhere.
What is the distance between the router and satellite? 30 feet minimum to start.
Also remember that the satellite is having to capture, repeat and rebroadcast traffic which can impact performance with critical apps like gaming. So it might be best to get the satellite wired back haul going.
